Kamal Hasan's daughter Shruti is ready with her album

Shruti Hassan is all excited about her forthcoming music album, which is getting ready for an early 2008 launch. When asked what the album is about, Shruti says: "It's my kind of music; the key is in expressing it, with some Indian elements thrown in it".
Shruti is trained in Hindustani classical music and went on to study music in Los Angeles. Her favourite is Madonna and metal music! Though acting is in her blood, as the daughter of Kamal Hassan, the finest actor in the country and Sarika, she is in no hurry to do a film. However she will do a film or assist dad, sometime in future. She has already sung a song for Dasavatharam under the baton of Himesh Reshamaiah.
At the moment, music and her forthcoming album are Shruti's top priorities. Her dad is her big inspiration and role model. Kamal knows more about music, than any other artist in Indian cinema! He understands the nuances of classical as well as pop music, and has also an ear for good music.
Last week as a part of Shruti's musical research, Kamal took her on a great learning experience to meet the 'Guru' himself MSV, one of India's greatest music directors. M.S Viswanathan ruled the airwaves for several decades and still has a large and ardent fan following worldwide. MSV ruled Tamil film music during the golden era (50's to late 70's) along with Kannadasan, T R Ramamurthy and K V Mahadevan.
MSV recovering from a cardiac surgery was convalescing at home in his sea-side apartment in Tiruvanmayur in Chennai. MSV was very pleased to see Kamal who came to inquire about his health, accompanied by Sruthi. MSV who vibes well with Kamal, had a great time chatting with the father and daughter. The maestro also gave Shruti some valuable tips, which we are sure she will incorporate into her vast repertory of musical notes.
